I stayed here one night for a wedding and it was a great stay. The pool and gym area look awsome. The bed and pillows were clean. Overall everything seemed very cleaned and i really enjoyed my stay. I ordered room service in the morning and it was very quick.

We had a state convention at this facility. We were concerned that it might not be big enough. We used the main rooms, the Ballroom and the Terrace Room as well as the Lil O Room. We had large meetings in these rooms and then had a luncheon and a banquet, which was packed out all in the same day....

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are happy that the convention was successful and hope to do it again in the future, Please stay again.

We spent two nights here for a family function. The beds and pillows were exceedingly comfortable. The hotel food was very good. However, the highlight of staying here is the staff. They are actually glad to have you there and are friendly, humorous, and helpful. They even give you an apple. I thought they charged a lot but it is...

Thank you for the kind words. I am very happy we made your stay comfortable. We have plenty of apples and coffee service in our lobby to greet you. We know most of our Guest have traveled a long distance and need a little extra comfort upon arrival. Please stay again.

This hotel is within walking distance of pretty much anything you'd want to see in downtown Portsmouth including the murals. The rooms are really comfortable like every other Holiday Inn in the pool area is really beautiful. Free to park, and there is a restaurant and bar inside the hotel; however there's a lot of really good restaurants within walking...

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I love our location as well, every season brings a new view. Even though we are a downtown property, you can still see the hills of Kentucky and the changing of the leafs. Please stay with us again.

Pretty good hotel in an area with a pretty poor selection of hotels. Supposedly recently renovated, and it appears to be true. Elevator is small, and halls are narrow. When was this built, 1960? I would comment that their renovation contractor needs to be called back for some finishing touches. Rooms was very nice, bathroom was small but had nice...

Thank you for choosing our Hotel. You are close in your guess of when the Hotel was built. It was 1970. There has been changes over the years, but the biggest Renovation was 2010 and we opened as a Holiday Inn in 2011. Improving and upgrading a hotel is a continuous action. Please stay with us again.

I have stayed here a few times, due to my son being a student at shawnee state university. While I do think they overcharge for the rooms, because of the location to the school, it is a clean pleasant hotel. The pool area is very clean, and well maintained. Our room was nice, and clean - no issues. Any experience...

Thank you for sharing your review with us. Hazel is wonderful as an employee and co-worker, she is pleasant all the time. Please stay again.

Supposedly family members are supposed to get a discount at this hotel visiting Shawnee University Students. I called the 877 number to book and was routed to India who apparently handle reservations for Holiday Inn. He told me they were sold out. So I called the front desk at PORTSMOUTH Holiday Inn who said they in fact had rooms, but...

Thank you for your comments. The Shawnee State Family discount is a local negotiated rate. You have to call the hotel direct to get this 20% rate off of the Best Flex rate. Your reservation was made through a third party, you paid the third party in advance, not us.
We cannot change or cancel anything you book through a...

i have stayed here 8 days so far and will stay 5 more. They have a very good restaurant called Oscar's but there is no free breakfast. There are no first floor rooms ..... the pool on the first floor is massive and consumes much of the ground floor ( wish my grand kids were with me). The elevator to...

Thank you very much for the fabulous response. Please stay with us again if ever in our area and we welcome your grand children as well.

We have stayed here the past two years for the DTWC and the hotel is nice. Staff was amazing and location is great. Called ahead and got a great view of the Kentucky side. It was a great location within walking distance of many restaurants. Track was less than a mile.

Staff was very friendly. Room was very beautiful and beds were so comfy, we loved the pillows and the option of firm or soft was a nice extra feature. Pool area was nice, it made you feel like you were in the tropics. Only complaint was the small restroom. No free breakfast and the on site restaurant can be quite...
